I am delighted—who are we kidding, OVERJOYED!—to introduce you one of my favorite artists of all time, Nahko. How does one even begin to thank one of their biggest heroes?!
Nahko is an artist, a seeker, a storyteller, and a medicine man through soulful music. I love that his music sits at the intersection of deep personal introspection with incredible activism and social justice.
He and his band, Nahko and Medicine for the People, have provided the soundtrack to everything important in my life these last five years: solo journeying, writing and then launching Pivot, meeting my husband, getting married, and now navigating the 2020 coronacoaster.
🎵 Listen to the end for a special acoustic performance (yes, I almost fainted!) followed by bloopers of me at peak nervous-awkward interviewing :)
